It was busy, said Springdale Mayor Stan Smith.
Storms that passed through southern Utah resulted in flash floods at the park and the neighboring community last week. Smith said two hotels received damage. The St. George News reported that Quality Inn at the Zion Canyon Campground and RV Resort was a total loss as a result of the flooding.
The flooding also resulted in damage at Zion National Park and even closed state Route 9 for some time. But that didn t stop people from visiting. People still came. They were still hiking trails, Smith said. It was still busy.
Zion National Park officials are still tabulating visitor estimates not just from the Fourth of July weekend but also from June in what has been an extremely busy year at the park. National Park Service visitation data estimated there were over 1.8 million park visits through May, which is the most on record over the first five months.
